Editorial Review: Album Details: Original London Cast of Andrew Lloyd Webber's Evita. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - A disappointing start.EVITA is without question Andrew Lloyd Webber's finest achievement. He and Tim Rice collaborated on one of the true operatic masterpieces of musical theatre, and it's interesting hearing this - the representative recording of the first staged production of the show. Unfortunately, this is perhaps the most disappointing of all the English cast albums of the show. The orchestrations and performances are deplorably lackluster, particularly in light of the definitive American Premiere production that ...

Elaine Paige is great, but I don't care much for David Essex as Che. Rating: - THE HIGHLIGHTS DISC OF THE ORIGINAL LONDON PRODUCTIONOver the years Andrew Lloyd Webber has made many musicals, some more successful and appealing to the public than the others.

It is incomplete, which was a disappointment. Elaine Page doesn't hold a candle to Patti Lupone as Evita, and the Che leaves much to be desired. The highlight of this album is "Another Suitcase in Another Hall" which is simply superb. It was worth buying the cd just for that song. Some of the lyrics are different, which was interesting to hear, because ... Read More Rating: - Misleading CD coverI wanted the complete Evita soundtrack, and this rendition was terribly disappointing. The cd ends abruptly mid story. Voices are spectacular of course, but the cover suggests this is the original London peformance and a buyer, like me, expects the entire musical score. I wouldn't buy this again.
